Less than a decade after the 1st conclave in my lifetime, we once again look upon the chimney for the “fumata bianca” to rise.

Habemus Papam !

It was a thrilling moment, having to take close range shots of the action while running across Chingay parade under the watch of thousands spectators.


Heavenly pain, hundreds of Tamil devotees practised their faith through skin piercing and metal spiking. Bless on earth from the palace of Lord Murugan.


The Mayan calendar might have an accuracy or interpretation issue to resolve, yet its forecast is only a question of time. Before the moment of truth comes and knocks on our door, let’s enjoy the earth our grandchildren has lend us to take care for them.
Mundo Bonito !

I guess life inside is rather peaceful without any predators lurking around but … the great ocean out there is definitely a much more wonderful playground.

Welcome to the latest giant fish tank in Singapore.


A week before the festival of light Deepavali is celebrated, thousands of devotees gather in the Sri Mariamman Temple of Singapore for another fest, culminated by fire walking sessions.

There is no better place to have a conference in a new country, other than Romania. Only problem is that I have no time to wander around in a cold rainy nights after the meetings.
If we could take the time
To lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin’ that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
Then darlin’ don’t refrain
Or I’ll just end up walkin’
In the cold November rain


When overseas flights are not anywhere near reasonable prices, Singapore offers various options for domestic tourism, a.k.a. staycation. If a five star stay in a heritage-grade hotel is something for a once in a-many-years experience, so it is The Fullerton Hotel.

The splendid view from its roof-top indeed is a top-notch postcard quality.

Seen through a thick morning fog from a chilli padi field on the slope of Menoreh Hills, the giant stupa of Borobudur seems like an out-of-place monuments rising above the jungle. It’s a truly deeply Javanese icon !
